Podenco Post

Tina Solera of Galgos del Sol has over 20,000 followers on her association facebook page. So let’s hope this new initiative will find homes for many of the ‘invisibles’ – the podencos who have been in shelters for years.

‘We put a call out recently to see if we could help any galgos or Podencos that had been locked away in perreras for a long time.

We’ve had tonnes of messsges about Podencos, they really seem to be forgotten. We’ve also had messages about lots of pods on the streets in an attempt to stop them going to the perreras.

The ones already in for years seem to be seen as a lost cause. It’s sad either way when not in loving arms.

SUENO, beautiful Podenco, ok with cats!

Adoptable everywhere in France and neighboring countries

His story: Rescued in terrible conditions (in 3 days he travelled more than 30km between 3 mountain communes in extreme winter weather conditions), he was able to recover thanks to expert techniques. We cried tears of joy when we knew he was safe, under our protection.

Behavior and sociability: Sueño is a podenco love. He arrived exhausted after a difficult rescue, his physical and mental condition were terrible, terrified and very weak. With a lot of delicacy we managed to get him to love and he proved to be a very happy, playful and affectionate dog (he loves pats), he is not scared at all!

Let’s find a home for little Peanut

How could anyone not fall in love with this lovely little boy?

He’s just the perfect size to have a snuggle with as you can see from the photo here with his foster mummy aunty Sue.

Peanut is just over a year old, and is still only really a baby.
He’s spent the last couple of months in a foster home to help him overcome his nervousness and to bring him out of his shell.

Although initially he was extremely shy and timid he is gradually step by step learning to trust.

Peanut was particularly nervous around men but he’s overcome that fear and is now comfortable in male company.
